    Summary

    Tom had always considered it particularly petty on Albus Dumbledore’s part in assigning Tom to be the one to introduce muggleborn first years to Hogwarts. He was sure that Albus thought it was some sort of teaching moment, exposing Tom to muggles repeatedly as though he’d gain some sort of empathy and moral epiphany whenever he met a half-decent parent.

    However, it didn’t matter how many muggles he met or how many of them actually tried to be a decent parent to their magical children. There were more failures than successes, more broken homes and troubled children than not.

    And it seemed to be getting worse every year.

    Summary

    Tom Riddle has never done anything he didn’t choose to do. Not the watch on his wrist, not the ring on his finger, and certainly not the prayers. Harry Potter, his best friend since childhood, knows he doesn’t mean any of it. Between them, they don’t keep secrets – not the important ones.

    But tonight, when Tom sneaks over at midnight, he finds Harry in the middle of rolling a secret. In a fit of spite, he takes the blunt and smokes it for himself.

    He gets very, very high.

    And it turns out some secrets are more important than either of them ever knew.

    Summary

    After the war, Harry Potter won. Then he lost everything.

    Years of fighting for a world that threw him away the moment he became inconvenient. Years of watching good people die while the Ministry shook hands with the very enemy trying to destroy them. Years of grief that hollowed him out until nothing remained but rage and a single, desperate question:

    What if I had done it differently?

    A forbidden ritual. A second chance. A body that is no longer his own and a mind that remembers horrors no fifteen-year-old should ever know.

    He knows what's coming. He knows who is responsible. And he knows that the Boy Who Lived cannot save anyone.

    So Harry Potter will not try.

    He will do something far more dangerous.

    The future hangs on a single question:

    What happens when the Chosen One stops choosing to be good?

    Summary

    Tom had grand plans for his latest year at Hogwarts. It would be the year he conquered death, achieved heights most wizards could only dream of reaching. He would settle for no less.
    Fate, however, had different plans for him. Presenting as an omega was only the tip of the iceberg. An unexpected blemish on his perfect plans but nothing he couldn’t handle even still. A mysterious new transfer student who had a sudden and quite jarring fascination with him was a bit more of a curveball, but Tom could use this. Especially when the strange new student came with such a prestigious name.
    Being courted by an unknown entity, however, was not something Tom had thought he’d ever have to navigate. Especially one who seemed to know him better than Tom had ever let anyone see before. Add to the mix a Dark Lord who has inexplicably turned his sights towards Hogwarts and this year was turning out to be quite a bit different than Tom had planned. For better or for worse was yet to be decided.

    As surely as spring follows winter, as surely as dawn follows night, I will return to you. Through all the cycles of our lives, through conflict and harmony, my heart knows its way home to you.

    Summary

    During sixth year, Harry and his yearmates are gathered to participate in an inter-house multi-week project to take care of a little magical doll that would act just like a real baby in order to emulate a popular Muggle school activity of a similar nature. The students have to pair up and 'adopt' a baby together, promoting cooperation as well as responsibility. However, because of the uneven number of students, one of them has to be a single parent.

    Of course, Harry Potter ends up raising his doll alone.
